“Fields in the Month of June“ (1874)
___________
there were no poems not tawdry
about the month of June when I
looked, I read of the moon a lot,
of blossoms everywhere blooming,
troubadours crooning, couples
spooning, ubiquitously and
indiscriminately, none enough to
warrant my further attention
but this lyric, serendipitously,
finally, touched on what I thought
June might bring up
June, it said, is busting out all
over, to corroborate, just click
incidentally, Monet, a year earlier,
1873, had painted his “Wild
Poppies, near Argenteuil“, the
month of June in his conception
being addressed here perhaps
merely peripherally
but it seems Daubigny and Monet
must’ve known each other
